Conservation Programs : Low-Income Energy Assistance
For some customers, including seniors on fixed incomes, energy expenses can be a financial burden. In fact, there are those right here in our community who cannot afford the energy to meet their basic needs. For those who cannot afford such an expense, this can lead to difficult decisions about how to allocate their limited resources. Our local Energy Assistance Program is designed to help income-qualifying households cover their energy costs and reduce the financial burden that they face. If you believe you or someone you know may qualify, we encourage you to establish your income eligibility through the federally funded Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program (WHEAP). To learn more about the WHEAP application process, customers should contact Ozaukee County Social Services at (262) 238-8200. If approved for WHEAP, you will automatically be eligible for additional assistance through our Energy Assistance Program. Our Energy Assistance Program is funded with the portion of the Commitment to Community dollars specifically set aside for income-qualifying individuals and families, and will be given in the form of a credit on your electric bill. |
